Hi all,It has certainly been a while.I have been very busy setting up PrototypeZ Studios, and preparing many designs for my resin releases, yes Street Fighter included!Here's a sneak of my new releases, coming in both model kit form, and pre-paints.Space Host ( already available as an unpainted model kit) please feel free to contact me in interested to: ericksosa@mac.comMy second model kit/prepaint release will be "Space Leviathan" I was going to call it Star Beast in honor of the film Alien, but who knows, that may be another piece down the road muahaha!

Anyway let me tell you a bit more about the space Leviathan...the Space Leviathan is one of the Abaddon Patriarchs referred to in my short story titled "SPace host" You can read the story here, I first published it here on my blog back in July:http://toyzkulptor.blogspot.com/2011/07/july-update.htmlAnyway all I will say is that messed up insectoid face you see... well it is not his face at all....think of it as some kind of biomech samurai armor....I think Keira ( Space Host ) has met her match.... a creature as old as time, and as resourceful as the Elder Patriarch that she has become a host to...

Classes will start the first Saturday of September at 11am pacific time ( Los Angeles time).

We will meet online each Saturday at the same time.

Payment can be made through Pay pal to: [email]dycs4@yahoo.com[/email]

I accept any major credit/debit cards

**payment is due in full by August 31st.

***Class is limited to 15 people.

Many people have contacted me so please guys, first to pay will be the first 15 people officially in.

Payments cannot be reimbursed, but can be taken as credit for our second course in case you cannot take this course for whatever reasons.

Also the cost of $200 is an introductory price, next course will be a bit higher in cost, but then again each course will cover different stuff, but this will happen in the near future. For now let us focus on the class at hand .

**The class will be taught in a way that either Pros or newcomers can learn.**

Each class will last 3 hours, and will each take place on Saturdays at the same time ( 11:am L.A. Time/pacific time)

I cannot record sessions yet, but I will do my best to be able to offer that in very near the future.

Up to 5 people can show me their webcams ( while I show mine) ( if you have an HD webcam it is better) so I can see your progress.

As for our first class you do not need any materials.

For our second class you will need materials in case you choose to follow along , but mostly if you so desire you can just watch throughout all 5 sessions.

If you choose to follow along please be aware that during the first class I will give you a small list of materials required and give you a small demo, but an important one.

The purpose is for you to get acquainted with the materials/tools you may need. I will show you how to make your own basic tools. Also I will give you as much information on where to get these supplies here in the U.S. but mostly you should be able to get most stuff in any other places in the world. You can get clay/in most countries, in case you have a hard time finding sculpey, you can always use regular clay from a local art store, or buy your stuff online.

Hi guys,
I am just gauging interest for some online sculpting classes. For the longest time I have wanted to share with people how I go about sculpting my pieces. The technology was just not there until just a few months ago. Technically I want to open my studio doors ( virtually) to anyone interested in learning, and anyone interested in getting a behind the scenes pass into actual projects being developed.

I also want to use this tool to connect with fans throughout the world, during free meetings or "open house/studio sessions" scheduled once a month etc". Basically anyone with a computer can come to my studio and check what is new, and trust me I am working on a lot of cool stuff, some I cannot show, but there are some that I have permission to show, and that is where the fun begins, you will be a guest in my humble 2 car garage studio :)

Ok let's move on to the class info:

As of tonight, I have successfully shared my first online TEST class , we will start in two weeks guys.
I am thinking classes will be once a week for 3 hours each class, for a total of 4 classes, and perhaps a fifth class for review and questions etc.... I am really excited to say the least, as I can basically share my studio, a bit of my knowledge, and my crazy creature design ideas with whomever is interested.
***I would later on make my creations (developed throughout each course) available as model kits for you to study in person. People that sign up for my class will get a special discount for each model kit I make.
We will cover and explore together the following:

I would take payment through pay pal only. Classes would be taught through Gotomeeting with a limit of 15 people per session and 15 people per course as well.

Streaming will be in HD, with an HD camera for your viewing pleasure.
I just had a test class tonight , and it works just swimmingly, the resolution is incredible! I can also view you web cam, as to check the progress of your own creations, and give you better input. This technology is real cool guys!

Well, it certainly has been a crazy few months. And even longer since I updated this blog... sorry guys! Well, I have tons to show. First of all , I have partnered with YAMATO TOYS to bring you a line of original creations by your truly, in the vein of their current FFG line, or Fantasy Figure Gallery.The reaction at Comic Con last week was so good, that they decided to make my line (Originally called "Invocations" as part of their FFG line under "Sculptor's originals).

First in the line is"Space Host" a space alien that serves as a host to a beautiful female astronaut named Keira , who is dying.... she becomes infected with a virus in the middle of an alien war where humans have sided with one of two alien races that have come to earth fighting for the ultimate source of energy and life, human souls! One faction to protect us, the other to use us as an energy source and ultimately destroy us.

Through the miracle of science Keira's life is saved by her host, a benevolent yet powerful alien Priest and warrior know only as The Patriarch who has lost most of his limbs in trying to save Keira's life.

In an effort to save both his race and what is left of humanity, and in order for both woman and creature to survive...he latches onto her arm...and infuses her with the power of the EON-ACUMEN , an energy that is composed of micro intelligences ...it is said that intelligence permeates every single particle of matter in the universe...and only the Patriarchs have come to the knowledge of handling these intelligences in order to create the universe, this is how they have achieved their grand status if architects of the Cosmos.Countless worlds, and galaxies have been created through the power of EON-ACUMEN every being in the Universe, even humans.

Thus Keira and the Patriarch become the ultimate weapon... ever powerful, ever sentient, both of them may be the only hope we have...Unbeknownst to humans, but known to the Patriarch and Keira, the Abaddon find out about Keira's biofusion with the Patriarch.

Thus the evil alien faction begins a series of experiments of their own with both humans and Abaddon soldiers in order to find a way to mimic "bio-fusion" in order to create their own champion....their own "Space Host"....a being of pure evil capable of destroying Keira...but Biofusion is reserved only to the grand order of the Patriarchs, thus it was determined since the beginning of time. "One race to create another to obliterate, one to bring peace the other to bring war, a never ending struggle for the souls of men, a war that started eons ago, and that will ultimately end with the aid of the children of the Patriarchs": Us!

But the Abaddon* are not without resources, as twisted versions of the Patriarchs they have had access to the same knowledge, only lacking the means to control EON-ACUMEN. For knowledge of the control of EON-ACUMEN cannot be handled without the principles of righteousness, and this is what will forever keep the Abaddon from ever attaining such power, for they know nothing pertaining to righteousness, only evil permeates their very beings.

Yet it is said that since time immemorial said knowledge has been twisted and used for the evil purposes of the* Abaddon, the ancient race that is said to have branched out from the order of the Patriarchs, only this time their efforts will be more dramatic and powerful than ever before...for there are some humans that are willing to serve the evil faction, so it starts a new age of conflict, in which humans will play their biggest role..... get ready for new series of Bio-fusioned beings!
